Prerequisites

Before you begin defining and maintaining EBOMs, these steps might be required:

• Define assembly items with business unit attributes in PeopleSoft Inventory; you don't need to approve them, however.

• Decide how to maintain BOMs for assembly items: by effectivity date or by revision.

• Maintain revisions for revision controlled assembly items.

• Decide whether to verify EBOMs online and define component revision settings.

• Determine multiple output BOM considerations.

• (Optional) Assign associated primary BOMs as part of defining multiple outputs.

• Decide whether to allow EBOMs to be copied to PeopleSoft Manufacturing and whether you want to delete EBOMs when they're transferred back to PeopleSoft Manufacturing.

• Determine whether to use the embedded document management system to access revision, assembly, and component documents.
